Acadia

Acadia was a province of New France (now the maritime regions of eastern Canada), with its capital at Port Royal. The colony was founded in 1604, and Port Royal was burned down by English soldiers from Virginia in 1613 before being rebuilt. The English and French would fight over Acadia during several wars between England and France and its Native American allies, and it was conquered by Great Britain in 1713 during Queen Anne's War. Many Acadians were expelled for rebelling against the British government, forming the "Cajun" culture of Louisiana.
